Last time I have heard of this game, it was cancelled for some reason. Good that they brought it back, because I really like the idea of having a real world virtual reality Pokemon game, and this is the way to get out of the slump that has been the last few Pokemon games. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but the games have become a little too formulaic for me. Get a starter, get a team, win matches. That's pretty much it.
As a kid I always dreamed of having Pokemons in real life and interacting with them, seems like Virtual Reality is the closest thing to that. Pokemon GO seems like an interesting concept that I will definitely be interested in, we'll have to see if it lives up to the expectations.
omg this thing is hot. I want one so bad, didnt make the beta but my bro did -_- talk about jealousy man, not fair
